The event is free and open to all and is taking place as part of the Forced Migration and The Arts series of conversations. Tickets are available here<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/book-launch-the-palgrave-handbook-of-theatre-and-migration-tickets-694236458937>.


Edited by Yana Meerzon and S. E. Wilmer, editors of the Palgrave Studies in Performance and Migration<https://www.springer.com/series/17066> book series, The Palgrave Handbook of Theatre and Migration provides a wide survey of theatre and performance practices related to the experience of global movements, both in historical and contemporary contexts.


Given the largest number of people ever (over 100 million) suffering from forced displacement today, much of the book centres around the topic of refuge and exile and the role of theatre in addressing these issues. The book is structured in six sections, the first of which is dedicated to the major theoretical concepts related to the field of theatre and migration including exile, refuge, displacement, asylum seeking, colonialism, human rights, globalization, and nomadism. The subsequent sections are devoted to several dozen case studies across various geographies and time periods that highlight, describe and analyse different theatre practices related to migration.


The volume serves as a prestigious reference work to help theatre practitioners, students, scholars, and educators navigate the complex field of theatre and migration.
